I stumbled upon this Paleo Coffee Popsicle Recipe by pure chance.
9 Things in My Summer Travel Bag
These are 9 things in my summer travel bag.
Mint Chocolate Popsicles
Let’s be honest. No one has time for 106 degrees before summer even begins. But alas, it has come, and I’m demanding all the ice cream, especially in the form of my Mint Chocolate Popsicles.
Homemade Blueberry Vinaigrette
I believe that homemade flavor is the secret to wonderful, healing food. Salad dressings are always a part of this, and I know you’re going to love my Homemade Blueberry Vinaigrette recipe.
Today we’re keeping it simple, clean and fresh.
I made this dish the night I also made sauteed swiss chard & kale with fig.
There are minimal ingredients, which is something I’m trying to do more and more of these days.
I enjoy simple, beautiful things that serve the purpose of feeding, satisfying and healing.
I’ve learned over the past several years that these multi-purpose objectives can be easily achieved.
The only thing required is that you are committed to achieving your very best, and refuse to accept anything less.
Time to dig in.
I have created a summer salad to go along with the Homemade Blueberry Vinaigrette.

Living Life vs Blogging Life
I have been living life vs blogging life, so I stopped blogging my 21 days early.
That was kind of a preview.
Living Life vs Blogging Life
My blog is an outlet, a home and a place for me to share what I know to help Gutsy women not just survive but thrive.
I have written thousands and thousands of words, and I have published almost 800 posts. I have given countless things for free, on most days of the week and have been consistent with giving away the information I used to crave while reading other people’s blogs.
The truth (for me) is that spending so much time and energy doing this – blogging life – has taken away from the true essence of existence – living life.
Would I love to blog three times a day and have my blog readership grow immensely? Of course. Who doesn’t want a popular blog? More importantly, who doesn’t want to inspire thousands and thousands of people?
But I believe, no I am certain, that living life more will ultimately mean that I can do more to help and inspire more.
Why?
Because no one ever solved the world’s problems by sitting on their blog talking about the doing all day long.
Am I leaving my blog for good? No way!
Am I making changes immediately? Yes. I must. Life isn’t waiting for me.
How am I scaling back? I will probably only blog 1-3 times per week. In return, I have so many things up the sleeves.
Upcoming Spring + Summer
- Cabo. Rest, relax, eat, play, love, drink, be, zen
- Training for a half marathon
- Prototyping a physical product for A Gutsy Girl
- Chronically On-the-Go. But not like you think, planning “travel-related” things for A Gutsy Girl with one amazing travel woman
- Helping my “digital clients” with their online projects and planning so that they too can enjoy life more, work less
- Hershey, PA. Traveling to the sweetest place on earth
- NYC. #140You
- Releasing a summer desserts e-book
- Focusing on my own gut, continuing to heal
- Leading a #FitBlog Chat with the awesome Katy Widrick
- Working out early in the morning so that it’s done for the day, allowing me to engage in fun activities (which may or may not include wine strolls with my friend Jenna) at night
- Promoting The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut
- Minnesota. Homeskillet, family
- Developing new group programs
- Park City, UT. Adventures for said “half marathon training”
- Knowing and being with the Lord more, making peace with the things I cannot control – learning to fully trust
Do you see what I mean?
There is so much life to live….and I am so excited to live it.
p.s. Living begins today. Ryan and I are taking our 9-year-old nephew to Tahoe for the night. No blog. Just: eat. play. love.
Get out there and LIVE, friends!
